As you can see, Jan's books are gorgeous! Her calligraphy is remarkable as is her choice of poetry and text. We have a few of Jan's hanging "word flag" books in inventory but they have not quite made it to the web site. They come and go so quickly that we have a hard time keeping up. Please contact Laura to find out what is currently on hand. We promise to update this page soon. |
